    Default Gone fishing

    Haven't posted for a while, but will be changing that in the coming weeks, so far behind in my PP & cataloging, so...

    As Mum was further on fishing, this Spring cub decided to follow suit, but kept looking back for reassurance and more importantly, what next to do once he got into the river. You can see the size of bugs you have to deal with around his head!!!!

    Stunning image, like the comp, colours and detail, the flies around the bear add nicely.

    Hi Steve - Those are Alaska's state bird! Great IQ as usual. Was the comp for editorial? Seems it would have worked well as a horizontal with room to the left as well.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I really like how you captured the water splashes around the bear, and that worried look in his eyes! Great POV!

    Lovely vertical comp here Steve. Good colours and soft light to enhance the details. I like the detail in the eye despite it being in shadow slightly.
    The bugs look huge!

    This is a nice shot Steve. The main thing that jumps out at me is the smooth transition of color and texture between the rippling waters around the bear to the grass in the BG.
